FAQs About Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

What does a pre-purchase house inspection involve?

A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of a property’s condition before you sign off on the purchase. It looks at the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and other key areas to find issues that are not obvious.
